American ‘veteran’ rapper Kidd Creole was found guilty yesterday of murder in a New York City court for fatally stabbing a homeless man named John Jolly, in a scenario similar to the horror movie “American psycho”.
The 62-year-old musician, known as the founder of ‘hip-hop’ and a former member of the bands ‘Grandmaster Flash’ and ‘Furious Five’, now faces up to 25 years in prison following a court jury ruling.
Kidd Creole, whose real name is Nathaniel Glover, lowered his head when the verdict was given according to witnesses, writes the American magazine Rolling Stone.

Police had recovered the crime weapon and Glover was arrested for second-degree murder.
Glover had told police he was upset because he believed Jolly was seeking to ‘seduce men’, writes Rolling Stone.
“I thought he was gay after he spoke to me in a weird tone,” Glover said, adding that he was nervous when Jolly approached him.
Glover, who claims he did not know Jolly had died after being stabbed, told police: “I tried to push back but he stepped forward and I pulled out the knife and hit him… I wish I had never met him. “It’s my fault, I decided to stab him.”
Prosecutor Mark Dahl told the court that Glover (Creole) had taken Jolly’s life ‘with cold blood,’ and described in court how the victim had died from blood loss.
Glover will receive the sentence on May 4th.
Glover, or Kidd Creole, has been a member of the New York-based band Grandmaster Flash and Furious Five, who are considered the founders of the hip-hop current. The band in 2007 were spotted on the boulevard Rock & Roll Hall of Fameintroduced by Jay-Z.
